Arkansas INBRE

The Arkansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (AR INBRE) is funded by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The IDeA program was established for the purpose of broadening the geographic distribution of NIH funding for biomedical and behavioral research. Currently NIGMS supports INBRE programs in 23 states and Puerto Rico.

In May 2026, AR INBRE received its fifth five-year cycle renewal. The latest grant from the NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences is for $19.6 million. It will be distributed over five years, bringing the total amount of NIH funding for the research program to $107.7 million between September 30, 2001, and April 30, 2031. Read more
